Re: Multiple Problems With BackTrack

First of all the wireless card does not have it's light on
For a little while it did show up in the USB devices GUI but now it has gone
My USB drive does not come up anywhere, i need to get the drivers for my Wireless card from this but cannot.

Re: Multiple Problems With BackTrack

fdisk should show you any data partitions USB or otherwise. If USB device doesnt show up in list when fdisk is run, then you probably have USB issue. If it shows in the list, you would just need to mount the partition somewhere into the filesystem as backtrack does not auto mount anything. Sometimes the light on USB device will not show in linux unless the adapter is running (ifconfig wlan0 up) or you are actually connected(your wireless adapter might be called wlan0, or ath0 or wifi0.) I think it may depend on the chipset and or kernel/drivers when the light turns on. Could you run iwconfig or ifconfig -a and show us the output?
